Are you struggling with overwhelming trauma, burnout, or anxiety? Are past experiences keeping you from living a life aligned with your values? You don’t have to carry these burdens alone. As the co-owner of Sonder Counseling Collective and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, I specialize in helping individuals heal from PTSD, improve self-worth, and navigate the stress, burnout, and perfectionism that often accompany demanding careers and academic environments. If you’re feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, I’ll work with you to build practical tools that support healing and meaningful, lasting change.
I specialize in helping individuals heal from a wide range of traumatic experiences, including sexual abuse, military and first responder trauma, and religious trauma. In addition to trauma recovery, I help clients in navigating transitions, managing anxiety and perfectionism, and addressing concerns related to emotional eating, self-esteem, and body image.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in honesty, with gentle challenge and accountability when helpful. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to work through trauma, anxiety, and life transitions so you can feel more confident and aligned with the life you want to live. Reach out to schedule a free consultation!
